The Poet's House by Jean Thompson

reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

An interesting attempt at introducing readers to the contemporary world of poetry, but it falls short in terms of writing quality and plot development. There are many fragments and not all feel resolved or even readdressed by the finish. The poets feel rather stereotypical instead of characters with real substance.
